Abstract: A polarization-maintaining optical fiber includes a core region and a cladding region formed around the core region, the cladding region having a refractive index lower than a refractive index of the core region. A refractive index profile of the core region is either one of a step shaped or a concave shaped, and the cladding region includes two holes formed in such a manner that a shortest distance from the core region is virtually zero at locations in opposite to each other across the core region. It is preferred that, when a shape of the refractive index profile of the core region from a point where a relative refractive index difference with respect to the cladding region is zero to a point where the relative refractive index difference is three quarters of a maximum relative refractive index difference is approximated by an α-type refractive index profile at a boundary between the core region and the cladding region, the refractive index profile of the core region has a shape in which an α value is equal to or larger than 3.5. With this scheme, there is provided a side-tunnel-type polarization-maintaining optical fiber with a superior polarization maintaining property and a reduced transmission loss.

Abstract: A detection member (115) and a float member (116) fixed to the detection member (115) are provided in a liquid cartridge (110). When liquid within the liquid cartridge (110) decreases and reaches the float member (116), the float member 116 moves along a direction Q1. Simultaneously, as the detection member (115) moves, a light blocking section (162a), a slit (161), and a light blocking section (162b) sequentially come to a detection position (142). Hence, detecting, with an optical sensor, which one of the light blocking section (162a), the slit (161), and the light blocking section (162b) is located enables the remaining amount of liquid to be grasped in at least three stages. In this way, even in a case where a fixed optical sensor is employed, amounts of the liquid left in the liquid cartridge can be detected in multiple stages.

Abstract: La technologie de l'invention concerne globalement les câbles à fibre optique, leur fabrication et leurs utilisations. Cette technologie peut être utile dans de nombreux domaines, comme celui des mesures optiques, et notamment, par exemple, le matériel utilisé dans les laboratoires de biochimie pour mesurer les propriétés des échantillons déposés sur des plaques à microtitration et autres supports à échantillons correspondants. Cette technologie peut également être appliquée dans diverses technologies laser. L'objet de l'invention est obtenu grâce à un câble à fibre optique doté d'une surface active présentant une forme déterminée à une première interface optique de la première extrémité (451a, 451b) du câble. Cette dernière est soudée pour lui donner une forme circulaire exemplaire, et elle présente à la fois des extrémités de fibre dans la surface active et à l'extérieur de la surface active. A l'extrémité opposée, autrement dit la seconde extrémité du câble, les fibres dont les premières extrémités se situent sur la zone de surface active déterminée sont utilisées pour former une seconde interface optique (452a, 452b). De cette manière, il est possible de conférer un rendement de transmission élevé aux interfaces optiques où le faisceau lumineux n'a pas de section transversale circulaire.
